There'll be no ground troops in Iran.

They're not that mad.

The only thing that will keep Labour in power at the next election will be a withdrawal of troops from Iraq. Gordon needs this.

They can, of course, send them all off to Afghanistan. Sadly, now, the "forgotten" war.

SOME of America’s most senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the White House orders a military strike against Iran, according to highly placed defence and intelligence sources.
Tension in the Gulf region has raised fears that an attack on Iran is becoming increasingly likely before President George Bush leaves office. The Sunday Times has learnt that up to five generals and admirals are willing to resign rather than approve what they consider would be a reckless attack.

It will all be over in 6 months... one way or the other. Unless the US wins in 6 months, they will lose Vietnam style.

Apparently.
